DEMONSTRATIONS.—­There will be a number of demonstrations at the farm, one by Prof.  Francis Jager, the apiculturist, at 11:30 o’clock, at the Apiary Building.  No special subject has been announced for this, but it is certain to be a profitable occasion for those interested in bee culture.  Professors connected with the entomological and pathological departments will conduct experiments in spraying at some point near the Main Building.  Undoubtedly there will be other demonstrations, which may be announced before the meeting or in regard to which announcements will be found posted at the gymnasium.

GUIDES TO THE GROUNDS.—­Guides will be in attendance to escort visitors about the grounds to various points of interest.  These guides will be prepared to answer questions pertaining to the various branches of educational work at the farm.  Those who wish to take advantage of this service will meet the guides at the gymnasium at 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.  The guides will wear suitable badges.

PICNIC DINNER.—­In regard to the picnic dinner, which will occupy the time between noon and 2:00 o’clock, we are not quite sure as to where it will be held, but probably near the dining hall.  Should the weather be unfavorable of course there is plenty of room inside the gymnasium building.  Lemonade, ice cold, will be provided in quantity at the gymnasium building to meet the needs of the picnickers.

AFTERNOON MEETING.—­At 2:00 p.m. the afternoon session of the meeting will be held at some point in or around the gymnasium building, depending on the weather at that time and somewhat also on the weather between now and then as to the condition the grounds may be in.

REACHING THE GROUNDS.—­Take the Como-Harriet or Como-Hopkins car in either St. Paul or Minneapolis, get off at Doswell Avenue, and a walk of approximately one-half mile will bring you to University Farm grounds.  To reach the gymnasium go north on Cleveland Avenue, which is the avenue running along the west side of University Farm, past the University Farm buildings until you come to the last building, which you will recognize as the gymnasium by its size.  The grounds between Cleveland Avenue and the gymnasium are in an unfinished condition, but visitors will readily find their way across.  If you prefer to ride all the way to the grounds get off at Eustis Avenue, which the conductor will point out to you.  From that place cars run every fifteen minutes into the Farm grounds, an extra fare of five cents being charged.  Ask the conductor to let you off at the gymnasium building, which you will reach from the street car after a short walk over ground still ungraded and where no special path has been provided.  Getting off at that point, however, saves a long walk from the terminal station.  If in doubt as to the way, follow the sign of the arrow.
